Comments
I am wondering when will you be supporting Microsoft OneNote?
It is a very cool application and it would be neat to seee it on my Palm with your application.
Curretly, I have to save each item as a Microsoft Word doc and then it gets picked up by your application.
It would be nice not to have to do this extra step. In fact, I am holding off upgrading to your newest version because it does not have support for OneNote.
Please consider adding this as it is an integral part of the Microsoft Office Suite. There are cool hooks in Outlook and Word, etc. that allow you to integrate things into OneNote.
I hope that helps please give my suggestion some serious consideration -I think it will really make your product the VERY BEST.
Thank you,
-Eric

@ Peter:
Remember that we've never officially announced that we will be supporting OpenOffice, so I don't have any timeframes for an update that might include that support. However, we have been getting more and more requests for this. It's definitely on our short list of features for future releases, but nothing definite has been decided yet.
As always, leaving feedback on our website is the best way to let us know about new features you'd like to see!
